Some children see |
|
Him lily white, |
|
The baby Jesus born this night. |
|
Some children see |
|
Him lily white, |
|
With tresses soft and fair. |
|
Some children see |
|
Him bronzed and brown, |
|
The Lord of heav'n to earth come down. |
|
Some children see |
|
Him bronzed and brown, |
|
With dark and heavy hair. |
|
Some children see |
|
Him almond-eyed, |
|
This Savior whom we kneel beside. |
|
Some children see |
|
Him almond-eyed, |
|
With skin of yellow hue. |
|
Some children see |
|
Him dark as they, |
|
Sweet Mary's |
|
Son to whom we pray. |
|
Some children see him dark as they, |
|
And, ah! they love |
|
Him, too!The children in each different place |
|
Will see the baby |
|
Jesus' face |
|
Like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace, |
|
And filled with holy light. |
|
O lay aside each earthly thing |
|
And with thy heart as offering, |
|
Come worship now the infant |
|
King.'Tis love that's born tonight! |
